Tech Mahindra partners with FRiENDi mobile

Tech Mahindra, country's sixth largest software exporter, has expanded its mobile virtual network operator client base by entering into IT partnership with FRiENDi mobile, the first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, to service its IT requirements.

Under the arrangement, Tech Mahindra will enable FRiENDi mobile to the next stage of its MVNO infrastructure development by providing MENA-wide implementation of FRiENDi mobile's ERP, Business Process Automation, Reporting and Web Self Care systems, as well as community-based applications and value-added services. 

FRiENDi mobile has plans to initially launch in 2 Middle Eastern countries and later expand to 14 countries in the MENA region in the next two years.  Tech Mahindra will also leverage this partnership to look for more opportunities in India in the MVNO business. 

"We are proud to be a FRiENDi mobile partner for its IT requirements and this will enable us to provide a whole range of IT services which will enable FRiENDi mobile to meet the challenges of a competitive telecom marketplace" said CP Gurnani, President, International Operations, Tech Mahindra.
